Re: Mourning/Morning

2006-08-21 17:15:04Z

Truck,
I believe you are confusing two different Samuel Mournings. Samuel Mourning, the son of John Mourning and Hannah Ball was born 11/25/1811 in Adair Co., KY.(not Ireland). He died on 11/11/1879 in Hancock Co, IL. He is buried in the West Basco Cemetery, West Basco, Hancock Co. IL. On 12/5/1837 in Adair Co., KY he married Nancy Agnes Lyon. They had 9 children. He was a Civil War veteran serving in the Union Army. He enlisted on 1/12/1862, Co.G, 12th Reg. Volunteers, IL Cavalry. I descend through his brother William Mourning.

Re: Origin of Mourning name?

2006-02-25 00:03:48Z

My part of the family originally came from Point Pilot West Virginia. My greatuncle Andrew and Tom cdame to AR in 1910 and my grandfather came to AR in 1912. Their father was Andrew Jackson Mourning. There is some of my family in Arkansas and some in Lake, WN. I believe we had some generations back in KY and Tn as well as IL.

By the way, my dad was Jack Mourning. Who was yours?

Re: Origin of Mourning name?

2006-02-24 16:08:49Z

This is quite funny. That is the exact story filtering through my family here in Washington & Idaho. The assumption has always been made that the "spelling change" was from Morning to Mourning but could it have been from "Mourne" to "Mourning?" All speculation on my part. May I ask Deborah what part of the country/world your family is from? Curious that the stories are very much parallel.

Origin of Mourning name?

2004-08-21 04:58:00Z

I'm wondering if anyone has a clue where our name originated. Our family tradition has been long passed down as from the area around the Mountains of Mourne in Northern Ireland. I've confirmed that the mountains are indeed there and are named as such but no link. I've emailed with a local resident of the area in Ireland and they new of "Mornings" in the area but not any "Mournings".
It's a puzzle. Fun but frustrating.
Anyone have any wisdom on this subject?

Re: Mournings from VA

2004-08-19 18:50:00Z

I believe I may be a descendant of the brother John Mourning that you talk about in your note. According to my notes my John was born between 1790 and 1800 in we believe Virginia. (Census indicates that Johns siblings were listed as all being born in Virginia but John's did not state this.
Later (1855) John marries Christian Hanna Bishop in Lincoln Co. MO. (familysearch.com says Warren Co. MO.)
We are also trying to find the father of John. A person in our family has dug a little and has made an "assumption" that his father is "Daniel" and that Daniel's father is "Roger" but since this family member put a ? after then I'm sure she wasn't able to prove it as yet.
Don't know if this helps. I would love to hear from you if you suspect that you are related. I'm from Washington State but do not know who the "Arminta Elizabeth Mourning" might be listed in the other response to your note. I may have to do some digging however.

Could you email your Mourning line to me. I am in the Rodger Mourning line myself. My maiden name is Mourning. I have a Daisy Mourning in my line. Her father was John Robert Mourning and her mother was Ardelia Whelchel. Any relation?
Thanks,

Re: Roger Mourning decendants out there?

MsEileen — 2004-01-05 18:56:33Z

My maiden name is Mourning. My father was Clarence V. Mourning. My grandfather was Robert Mourning. He was born about 1900 somewhere in Illinois later moving to Iowa or so we believe. I can find nothing about my grandfather. He died in 1942. Would appreciate seeing the information you have in the book written about the Mournings.
Thanks,
Eileen

Re: Roger Mourning decendants out there?

MsEileen — 2004-01-05 18:56:33Z

Robert Mourning married Jessie Cross. I believe they married in Iowa. That is where my father Clarence was born. I do know Robert and his family used to attend family reunions in the Macomb area. I also know Robert had a brother Clinton and a sister Elizabeth. I believe Robert's father also moved to Des Moine, Iowa but I have no idea whether it was before or after Robert was born. I have been searching census records, but with so little information its hard to find anyone. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks again,
Eileen

Can find no record of the marriage or divorce. Any information on these folks would be greatly appreciated. It is the one link I am missing in this family.

John Mourning's Will - Does anyone have a copy?

Would like to find someone who has a copy of John Mourning's (1774-1846) will. I have a hardcopy of his father's, Rodger Mourning, will. Would be willing to send out a copy of that. Let me know.

?? Mourning & Hardy W. Wooten, N.C. to Ga.

majones1998 — 2005-10-22 18:15:30Z

Looking for info on an unknown Mourning. She married Hardy W. Wooten. He was born 1785 in Edgecombe County, N.C. and died 1815 in Burke County, Georgia. I'm sure that Ms. Mourning was born and died near her husband's time frame and in the same states. They had at least three children together, Jane, Nancy, and Joel B. Wooten. Does anyone have any idea on who Ms. Mourning was, who her family was?
Thanks, Patsy

Carrie Mourning murdered in Alabama?

Carrie090564 — 2004-06-27 23:52:18Z

I'm hoping someone will know something about this Crecie Ward and her daughter Carrie.

Family tradition says that Crecie Ward was born in Henry County, Alabama around 1847. She is shown on the 1860 census for Henry County residing with Emily Polson, who was some relation to her.

The Crecie Ward that I am searching for is known to have had a daughter. In the 1880 census Luanner(aka Carrie), was born about 1879.

Family tradition has it that the daughter (Mrs. Carrie Mourning) of the Crecie we are researching was murdered. She supposedly went to town on an errand and failed to return in the afternoon. Later that evening her horse and buggy came back without her. A search party soon found her body. A local black was suspected of committing the deed, but no proof was forthcoming. Later, it was suspicioned that the girl's husband killed her and left her body beside the road to avid suspicion to himself. Her actual killer was never apprehended. Crecie Ward died in Alabama in her 90's.

I have not been able to find any information to go with this story. If you know, pleaseeeeeeeee, help.

John Mourning Wallace b. 1814 TN

lchesser4 — 2004-01-07 20:40:06Z

Does anyone know of a connection of a Mourning family to the Wallace family? This Wallace family was from Martin Co, NC to Stewart and Davidson Co. TN in about 1808. Other possible connections could be with Exum, Bellamy, Pierce, Raiford/Redford, Brown, Wilkins, Andrews, Manning, or Page families. Willing to follow any lead.

Re: Origin of Mourning name?

deborahokane1 — 2006-02-22 23:19:42Z

I was told all my life by my grandparents and parents that we did indeed get our name from the Mourne mountains in Ireland. Was also told all my life that the boys got into some kind of trouble over there (like horse thieving) so they came to US and changed the spelling to Mourning. No proof just lots of fun stories. By the way,k who is your father? It isn't Herbert Dale by chance is it?

West Virginia Mournings

deborahokane1 — 2006-02-22 23:15:46Z

I have recently talked with one of my elderly family members who says that Tom and Andrew came to Ar in 1910 and that my grandfather James Cecil followed in 1912. I know All of the Children born to Andrew Jackson Mourning were:
Mary (she died), Jessie Othal who married Jacob ?,Patrick,Birdie Mae, Jennie, Thomas Harvey, and James Cecil. The best I can gather is they were originally fromj Point Pilot West Virginia.

James Cecil married Winifred Goldie Daugherty and they had: Reba, Marcella, Wilma, Andrew Jackson (Jack-my father)Betty, Margie, Peggy, Herbert Dale and James.

Any help tracing this family would be deeeply appreciated.

I have that line done for Eileen but it wasn't quite done and very extensive. I will have to see if I can get her a copy of it all but this might take some time and I hope I can find a program to match my floppies.

Sarah (Sally) Mourning

lolovelf — 2003-11-09 09:26:03Z

It is not known whether Jane Kennedy is Sarah's mother. Jane was on the ship when Roger and John came across. His wife may have died in childbirth, he may have been carrying Sarah with him and/or entrusted Jane to take care of her, or Sarah may be Jane's sister as I believe there is a Jane and Sarah Kennedy listed as passengers on a ship at that time. We may never know the truth.

Re: another Mourning

lolovelf — 2003-11-09 09:15:23Z

Hello Cousin Bob. Have you been doing more research? I had this line almost done but now I just have the floppys I saved it to not the program I did it on. Roland and I visited while we were stationed there. After his dad passed away we bugged out and went home. Big mistake but oh well we had to get out sometime. Roland and I are through but the girls might have the whole thing printed out.

Re: Roger Mourning decendants out there?

lolovelf — 2003-11-09 09:06:43Z

Of course there are. I've had the joy of running into Bob and seeing all the information he has. From there you just have to interview your family members to get all the descendents in line. If you get this chance take a good look at the heraldic achievement (not a family crest) this artifact takes us back to the second crusades where I believe it has the ancestor being a messenger. We started out fighting on one side of religion and Roger came to the states to fight it against it. Up through Scotland over to Ireland and then to the US. There is a lot of research to do if you want to figure that out and most of it you have to imagine. Now imagine how that thing ended up in the states approx. 800 years later. My husband is the last decendent of his line running from John, Roger's son.
